Description

ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase 1 (CD38). Synthesizes the second messengers cyclic ADP-ribose and nicotinate-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, the former a second messenger for glucose-induced insulin secretion. Also has cADPr hydrolase activity. Also moonlights as a receptor in cells of the immune system.

Target gene expression

The following plot describes the expression, in different tissues and TCGA cancers, of the different isoforms of the gene CD38.


Target essentiality


Protein properties

The following plot describes the target topology, highlighting the position of the endo-, ecto- and transmembrane domains, as well as the position of a signal peptide, when present. The last three rows describe the position of potential epitopes, as well as phosphorylation and glycosylation sites.
